Kingdom of Knuffel

My sister has her therapy through video chat now. My nephew as well, I guess? He sees a behaviorist, I think that's what she is called, so I'm wondering how that works because I know she uses a lot of props for it the few times I've took him.

I'm kind of glad I'm not at my last job working through this. They are still open, but I talked to my old coworker and they are on rotation so less people are there.

Props must be tough to work around. We usually use a lot of visuals in my discussions and that's why I didn't feel like I got a lot out of it.

My country isn't on full lockdown/quarantine and I suppose that's lucky, I'd hate if I can't even take a walk outside by myself to play some Pokémon GO while I do have to face people outside every day at work.

My country is in full quarantine state, but you can still walk outside: you just can't walk with more than 3 people and have to keep 1,5 meters distance from everyone. Thankfully, otherwise this quarantine would be impossible to sustain!

Sorry I just saw we're in the same country. Already thought "hm that sounds familiar" haha! I had no idea we were considered full quarantine if we could still take walks.

You play pokemon go too! That's one of the few things we've been still able to do. We just drive around now and park at pokestops.

Hehe, I can't drive but my neighbourhood recently got so many new Pokéstops I can at least get daily tasks done and enough event spawns. No shiny Buns yet though...

As for working, I don't prefer it. I'd rather be home, be safe. Instead I am between people fulltime. I have anxiety disorder so it's just not a kind situation to me. :/
It's curious I haven't heard anything from my therapy yet, so I assume I am expected physically.

Omg New York! That’s like the epicentre, I’ve heard the news of it being bad there. Strange that your part of New York isn’t as bad though. Although, if there’s less population density there then it’s not all too surprising.

I’m in Canada and there’s been a lot of distancing going around here and only essentials are open. Dunno how long it will take before everything gets opened up again and life returns to normal.

How is everyone though, mentally? I think my sister occasionally gets a bit of cabin fever but she’s used to be more social. Me, I’m very antisocial lol so I don’t mind staying at home.

No clue how she would unless she just holds them up to the camera and makes him imagine him holding it?

I have a friend living in Edmonton and she told me the uni she attends did not want to close at all. They only closed because they were forced too.

I'm doing fine since I'm still working. I like being home for the most part anyway and only go out occasionally (though before the stay in shelter was in place my brother's girlfriend would always invite me out and I feel rude saying no all the time so I was going out more).

Finally got halfway to 3600!

Yeah New York is the epicenter, but the state is huge. Downstate is where the city and long island and they’re getting hit hard. Upstate once you get bast Albany is pretty calm at the moment. The few big cities have a good number of cases but i live in the middle of nowhere so we’re relatively safe.

Well safe until downstate starts shipping patients up this way.

How are you already halfway. I’m just over a 12th of the way there.

Well I’m over 2k so I guess that’s more than a little halfway.
I’m near Toronto and they’re extending the emergency efforts so I guess we’ll be stuck a little bit longer lol. Not that I really mind much. I spend most of my time reading.
It’s supposed to be spring now but it’s still cold. And it’s SNOWING right now, like wtfffff~

Oh god! I just hit a total of 500 today. I still have to collect from the pet today in an hour but still.

You guys got snow too? We had some the other day and then we had a bad rain storm yesterday.

yeah i was trying to get as much as possible last week. and remembering to collect from my pet everyday. i hope i can make the 3.6k soon.

oh yesterday, we had gusting winds that i hear at the peak were about 60km/h. o-o it was like "hweeewhooo" all afternoon.
and there was rain later too, i think. today, its been either rain. or snow. xD;;

Strangely enough and even if we're apart, we had the same kind of weather recently.
We've had snow at the end of March too, it was like Winter finally came (and it's already gone)

That's still more quarantine than we are. Seriously, the city government wouldn't be pushing for everything to be closed people would still go. And they're only doing it because the actual government isn't.
The government isn't doing a whole lot actually, leading to prefectures taking upon themselves to provide compensations for closures and to declare their own state of emergency.

And, worse of it all, people are still coming into work despite their company telling me they're supposed to work from home. The husband's company had enough and closed the whole thing for the rest of the week.
